Scientists using the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator have discovered a new system of five particles all in a single analysis. The uniqueness of this discovery is that observing five new states all at once is very rare, researchers said.The LHCb experiment is one of seven particle physics detector experiments collecting data at the Large Hadron Collider accelerator at CERN (European Organisation for Nuclear Research).The collaboration has announced the measurement of a very rare particle decay and evidence of a new manifestation of matter —antimatter asymmetry, to name just two examples. The new particles were found to be in excited states — a particle state that has a higher energy than the absolute minimum configuration (or ground state) — of a particle called Omega-c-zero.
